Nicky Henderson's NATIVEHILL shaped well when runner-up on his hurdling bow at Newbury and this point winner can go one better here at the chief expense of Monty Bodkin who also brings a fair amount of potential on the back of a promising debut Carlisle sixth. Tchoupinminzac and Big Bert can fight it out for minor honours.
